    While I agree that makes him kinda shit for most roles, that’s kind of a perfect fit for Paul Atreidies, right?

    I mean, he was bred to be the Kwisatz Haderach by generations of Bene Gesserit, trained from birth to be a great ruler and warrior, pidgeonholed into becoming a messiah by his mother’s scheming, and basically had no choice about his path in life save for his prescience giving him some influence on the future.

    That sounds like an ultra-nepo-baby with rich parents, no choice about his career, no chance to live a real life and a mountain of privilege to me.

      save for his [Paul Atredies] prescience giving him some influence on the future.

      Some statements will not age well. <3
